What is Partnership Dissolution Mediation?
Partnership dissolutions often involve complex financial, operational, and relational issues. Mediation helps partners separate interests from emotions, identify fair valuations, and craft enforceable resolutions that minimize litigation risk.
Key Issues Addressed
- Valuation of business assets and goodwill
- Allocation of debts, liabilities, and tax obligations
- Buy-out terms and payment structures
- Intellectual property and customer goodwill
- Transition of employees and client relationships
The Mediation Process
- Pre-session disclosure: review financials, contracts, and ownership records.
- Joint session: frame issues, establish ground rules, and set priorities.
- Caucuses: explore settlement ranges and risk-adjusted outcomes.
- Agreement: draft enforceable terms covering division, releases, and ongoing obligations.
